100 push up challenge - Wk 1, Day 2 update

Well, I'm started on the path to 100 push ups.

Week 3, Day 1 (my first day, yeah, I started in Week 3) was pretty easily, frankly - though the last set (20 min) I could only do 22.

Day 2 was harder, even with the longer breaks, and I only just made it to the last set rep minimum of 25.

Here's the week 3 workout schedule, in case your interested.

I could really feel it today in my chest, shoulders and traps after I had completed the sets. I'm doing these in the morning of my regular workouts, which I'm continuing to do without interruption. I'm hoping that by keeping my regular workout sched my strength gains will come faster.

I'm torn too - I can definitely see how this will up the number of push ups I can do. Its a challenging but not too challenging program, but at the same time 30 to 100 in a LONG way. I think I might have recruited my dad to play along, so check back. Week 3, Day 3 is scheduled for Friday this week, since Christmas is on Thursday.
